Looks like that seam came out really well. I Can't see it in any of the photos even after blowing them up. Any advice on how to do it or how it went?

 

To be honest I can't take credit for the seam, because there wasn't really one at all. This has been the best fitting kit I have ever done. It only required a few coats of Mr. Surfacer 500 along the seam lines and then a wipe across top with a cotton swab lightly moistened with lacquer thinner.

Your F-16 looks better than nice. I'd put it in the oustanding category.

Really good job, she looks great. Cool to see the Tamiya version after doing the Academy one. Nice execution on your example!

This kit is on my wish list as the 52nd Fighter Wing is a decal option. Was stationed there from 94-99. I will follow along!

Only thing i'm nervous about is sanding/polishing the seam down the middle of the canopy... never tackled that before(I usually do WW2 planes)

Keep us posted. I've got the Block 25/32 version in the stash I'm planning as a "What if" modern day Iranian F-16. I'll be interested to see what problems (if any) you run into.
